About this map

Lake Auburn and the rural hills of Androscoggin County are documented here as they appeared in the early 1980s, revealing a landscape defined by small settlements and family burial grounds. The western shore of the lake is marked by The Basin and Salmon Point, while the interior terrain rises toward peaks like Hersey Hill and Woodward Mtn. The infrastructure of the era is evident in the transition from the Old Railroad Grade near Hebron Station to the small airfields like Maheu Airport and Hemond Airport in Minot.

Settlement patterns center on crossroads and rail history, with communities such as West Minot, North Auburn, and East Hebron serving as local hubs. Genealogists can find numerous smaller cemeteries, including Hilborn Cem, Atkinson Cem, and Riverside Cem. The northern portion of the map is defined by the Nezinscot River and several smaller water bodies like Lily Pond and Mud Pond, reflecting a well-watered agricultural and timbered district.
